We had such a lovely stay in Newport Beach on Balboa Island. The home was comfortable, welcoming, and in a perfect location close to the ferry, which made exploring so easy and enjoyable. Our host was also very communicative and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. We’d happily stay here again.

Great spot for a family vacation

We had a great time staying here. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The parking was a little tight but that’s California beach area not the property fault. A nice bonus was beach towels and toys there to enjoy.

The home was accurately described and pictured in the listing. The AC did not work great and was reported to the host who was responsive to our request but wasn’t able to get someone out during our stay to fix it. The house had everything we needed, was spacious and in a great location! This home is near all of the local attractions; with easy walking access, on the street that the ferry picks up from but it was very quiet at night. Having the garage space to park was helpful. As a bonus there is beach gear to use. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Local on Balboa

We loved this location... our teenage sons went across the street to play basketball several times a day! Perfect spot with a small market and restaurant steps away, or we took the stroll to the main shops. Really enjoyed our stay... thank you!

Balboa island getaway

Location was perfect. Place needs a handyman to fix few small things (like bathroom towel holders that are broken, loose shower faucet etc) but nothing major and a bit of love. Overall the location, size, comfort, easy access, parking, management response and price were great. We would definitely go back if we stay in the area.

Weekend in Balboa

This was an incredible property for a weekend stay in Balboa. Location less than a minute walk from the ferry made it very easy to get around. Very spacious property with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, making it a great choice for large groups. The property manager was very responsive and kind. Would definitely stay here again!

Great 4 bedroom on Balboa Island

It is very hard to find a 4 bedroom on balboa island. For the price, this place is a lot of bang for your buck. The owners are tremendous.

Staycation

Enjoyed a visit to Balboa last year and did it again this year. Kids, 15 and 12, know the island and Newport well. Close to the ferry, a garage space and AC. Host was responsive and very accommodating. No complaints.
